James Toney UFC interview .He sounds punch drunk to me?

[porkypara]

Good interview,but I think Toney has taken way to many shots.


Would love him to beat Randy to shut Dana whits mouth.

Great video. He sounds no more punchy than usual I thought it was a fun interview. Got to give credit to the interviewer, he handled James Toney far better than Jim Gray and Brian Kenney ever could

I'd love JT to do it, but I can still barely believe this fight is taking place, it's just such a bizarre matchup.

I have a feeling the fight will absolutely blow, Randy will get James on the ground and just lay on him until he quits.

I remember the Ali vs werestler fight from decades ago when the wrestler just sat on the floor and moved around on his ass like a crab. I worry it could be a similar debacle to that.

Hope I'm wrong though.

I just don't get why Toney didn't respond to the Oquendo fight by trying to get straight back in there and fighting a top 10 guy. Maybe he knew himself that he didn't have it anymore. But a NC against Rahman and then Oquendo. And then a year out and a fight against Greer and nothing more?

I just much prefer Toney the boxer. I am not into this UFC stuff at all. It just seems so vulgar. Not that boxing is the height of sophistication mind.

Toney always sounds like that these days. Has done so for a good decade now. He wouldn't make a very good English teacher. I do find him hilarious though.

He thinks he's guna beat Randy then have a title shot in boxing? What has he been smoking, usually Toney doesn't get to me but this time i truely hope he gets beaten up for three rounds Lucky im a Randy fan!

The thing is that Toney is now really quite old. I loved watching him fight, but you have to suspect he is away from boxing for a reason. You can't tell me EVERYONE is ducking the mighty Toney who has been beating up everybody in recent years.

Here is Joe Rogan's take on the fight.

What he says is so true, and also fucking hilarious

Hard to believe there was a time on this very forum where people shared their opinions IN PUBLIC, for all to see and read about how James 'Lights Out' Toney could beat and maube even KO Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

I hope Toney wins this MMA fight, I know Dana White is out to prove that UFC is all super fantastic and different than boxing but let's face facts shall we, guys like Kimbo Slice chose MMA for a reason, boxing is nuanced and very specific and the slightest mistake can leave you out cold from a counter...in MMA there is chaos (mostly, the best fighters use strategy and stick to the science behind other martial arts) but mistakes even the big one aren't always punished and extremely flawed fighters can get lucky. I just hate the MMA stereotype and mentality, but I have grown to respect certain fighters.......all those guys punch like little girls though
